readx;? Bu Zhengfang, the residence of Li Linfu, the right minister, a dispute has lasted for more than two hours. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wang Ji took the lead, and several backbone members of the Li Party were all present.

"Yicheng, why should we give up Yicheng? Give them Yicheng, and we ourselves will have to lose a dozen important positions!" an old man with a square face and a gray beard exclaimed angrily, his beard curling as his chest rose and fell.

A middle-aged man dressed as a white-robed Confucian sitting opposite him smiled coldly: "If we don't let out this success, how can we people who have fallen into the hands of others come out? Without this percentage, can they give up? Dali Temple has now even turned the horse shed into a prison cell!"

"I don't think it's that simple, right?" the old man sneered, pointed to the people around him, and said: "The people who are locked up inside are very clear in their hearts! This share belongs to our big guys, and you are not qualified to make decisions for all of us!"

It's a shame to say it, although the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Yushitai have always been in the hands of Li Linfu, but in the current situation, even the emperor can't dominate everything, let alone him Li Linfu.

It may be difficult to understand, but it is the reality.

This is not a brawl between people in the rivers and lakes, it is not who has more people and who has more strength can dominate the martial arts and dominate the rivers and lakes.

The current situation in Chang'an is rooted in the old-fashioned change of imperial power, but it is far more than that......

In all dynasties, the change of imperial power is a big problem, and there is always bloodshed and death, although the process may also be very complicated, planning for more than ten years and decades abounds, but its essence is also simple.

In the case of no need to change the dynasty, the essence of the change of imperial power is to adjust the people and order of the cake slightly, the winner will divide first and share more, and the loser will score less or no points, and even be directly kicked out of power and wiped out.

However, the cake is still the same cake, the total amount is roughly the same, and the number of chairs on the side of the table is also roughly the same, but the difference between the new person and the old person is also the same.

The change of dynasty is different, this is to directly overturn the table, make a new piece of cake, the size and style of the cake will mostly change, the number of chairs on the side of the table will also change, maybe the people involved in the distribution can still retain a few of the original old faces, but they will also be replaced by new people.

Therefore, the change of imperial power, not only the emperor hopes to be able to pass smoothly, but all the people involved in the cake sharing hope that the table can be stabilized and the cake can be kept.

Even when some ministers are heavy and the monarch is light, the emperor will have the idea of overturning this table and putting another one.

At present, the situation in Chang'an, or the situation of the entire Tang Dynasty, has been out of this fixed pattern from the beginning.

On the whole, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is still at its peak, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, far from the point where they can't survive and want to rebel.

In this situation, the Li family's dominance is still quite stable, at least at the level of ordinary people, they are still accustomed to accepting the Li family's rule.

But the biggest variable should start from the seven sects and five surnames stirring up the turmoil in the south!

First, there was a food shortage, and then the Yang family made chaos and poisoned Tiannan.

The economic strength of the south is still recovering, but it is precisely because of the huge impact on the income from land cultivation that the families of the south have begun to raise their eyes from the land in order to restore their own strength.

If there is no other means of investment in a few decades, these big families can only divide the land in peace and honestly, and the farmers dig food from the soil, and they lie on the peasants to suck the blood of the peasants.

But with the advent of maritime trade, they suddenly discovered that there was such a way to amass a lot of wealth in a short period of time.

Of course, the essence of this approach is not much different from resource plundering, so I will not mention it here.

The rebellion of the Yang family forced them to raise their heads, and the things that the sailors, maritime merchants, Yangzhou, and so on had been noisy in the south for more than a year were like a bright light in the dark night, guiding them to turn their attention to maritime trade.

And families such as the Qian family and the Wu family in Yangzhou, who have been immersed in maritime trade for decades, are desperate to prepare to set sail and use maritime trade to make up for the blood lost during the rebellion.

Such an obvious example naturally attracted a large number of southern families to imitate.

The Lu family in Jiaxing is the representative of the traditional family in the south.

In addition to the south, the northern giants also quickly understood the amazing wealth that maritime trade could bring after closely staring at the movements of the seven clans and five surnames.

The attack on Xu Chen by the wealthy families in Guanzhong led by Xiao Jiong and the plundering of the land of Ryukyu were the consequences of this understanding.

Not to mention the seven clans and five surnames that have established shipyards in Dengju and have begun to trade with Goryeo and Wa.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and if you want to see the current political situation of the Tang Dynasty, you must first recognize the earth-shaking changes that have taken place at the economic level.

However, at present, the person who can fully understand this and have seen the whole situation clearly is only Li Linfu in the world!

Of course, this does not mean that he Li Linfu is smarter than everyone in the world, but it is just because of his Li Linfu's power structure and taking a lead!

Li Linfu first made his fortune in Yangzhou, when he was on an errand in Yangzhou City, not long after the rise of maritime trade, Li Linfu, who was mixed in the market, easily discovered the emerging form of gang gangs.

Li Linfu followed his father to Yangzhou to take office, although he was not born in Yangzhou, but he almost grew up in Yangzhou, and it can be said that he completely experienced the initial stage of the rise of maritime trade.

He mingled in the market, and had a good relationship with the first batch of Haigang founders, and because his father joined the army for the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, he was originally the son of an official eunuch, and he was born in the Tang Dynasty, so he can be regarded as a powerful among the powerful.

Although his father was not outstanding, and his family's background was almost declining to his generation, it was precisely because of Li Linfu's complex background that he noticed the maritime group from the beginning and participated in it very early.

When he came to run, he was recommended to Chang'an as an official, and Li Linfu, who urgently needed a lot of money to take care of, did not forget the maritime trade business that had just risen in Yangzhou, but it was not yet prosperous.

With Li Linfu's official fortunes, his status in the maritime group is getting higher and higher, not to mention the Yangzhou Qian family, even Yuzhang Wanjia, the source of the maritime group, also maintains quite close ties with Li Linfu.

It is precisely because these things are inseparable from the forces behind him that Li Linfu can see the deep root causes of the current chaotic situation one step ahead.

Then, it was the crown prince Li Heng's actions in understanding.

Whether it was the forced palace of Li Longji on the Golden Palace that day or the armed rebellion launched a year ago, it can only be regarded as aggravating the evolution of the current situation.

It is precisely because of the violent movements of the crown prince Li Heng on the bright side that some guys who didn't see the situation clearly at all, or who just watched the leopard in the tube and didn't know how to pretend to understand, had some corresponding emergency responses.

When a big wave hits, everyone asks to live.

When it comes to life and death, who will care if you Li Party or Xu Dang, naturally the primary purpose is to protect the interests of yourself and the family behind you.

At present, the so-called party in the Tang Dynasty is completely different from the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in the future, except for a small number of Hanmen officials who have ascended to the throne through the imperial examination, there is almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty who does not have a big family behind them!

At this time, the parties were not like the Song Dynasty, where most of them gathered according to ideological ideas and political views, or like the Ming Dynasty, when the imperial examination had become the only channel for entering the government, the parties were divided by protégés and teachers.

At present, the majority of political parties divide their own groups of influence according to their pure interests.

Behind each official is his own family, based on this, and then the family with common interests will automatically gather the children of the officials in the family to form a group in the court.

But Eli will divide Eli.

Now facing such a big crisis, everyone has the possibility of being finished, and almost every day there are incidents of raiding homes and exterminating the family, whether it is the Li Party, the Xu Party, or other parties, they are all facing the danger of falling apart.

It's just that it is precisely because everyone has begun to think about it that the current situation has evolved to the point where it is now in a mess.

The princelings wanted to work hard to survive the emperor's sweep of them, the seven clans and the five surnames were still undead against the maritime group, and the Li party and the Xu party wanted to do their best to divide the upcoming benefits while keeping themselves.

And in addition to the purpose of keeping themselves and dividing power, the Guanzhong wealthy family on Xiao Jiong's side also has a little pride that surpasses everyone. They want to directly take the Ryukyus, so as to directly achieve the purpose of intervening in the maritime trade, when others are still fighting for life and death in Chang'an, maybe they have already set sail to the sea.

As far as the current Li Longji is concerned, he has not understood and cannot control the situation at all, and he has put on a posture of winning the game, and he is also wooing the Shandong giants, and he is also promising the generals to benefit and use force, making the internal guards jump up and down all day long, killing people and raiding their homes, making people panic and the situation becoming more and more chaotic.

It turns out that all parties and groups have a unified command, and after fighting each other, several bigwigs sit down and talk, and if they share their interests, they will be at peace.

But right now, everyone is messing around, and the bigwigs are struggling to stabilize their own situation, where is the mind and capital to talk about?

When you say you want to talk, people will say that you can control your men now? Without anyone to talk to you, what will you do to talk to us? Are you qualified to talk to us?

This is what Li Linfu is most entangled with at present!

As the only person who has seen the essence clearly, he no longer has the strength to make a decision in one fell swoop!

Before he Li Linfu took power, of course, he was not selfless, but at least he stabilized the situation, the table was still there, and the cake was there.

But now, the table is unstable, the cake is crumbling, and the people involved in the cake distribution are running around like headless flies......
